Could you build this?
No Building a precise forced aligner that performs phoneme- and word-level alignment on spontaneous, disfluent speech requires specialized speech research, acoustic modeling, and deep ML expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires an acoustic model trained with CTC/ASR objectives or specialized alignment losses (e.g., Kaldi, PyTorch with CTC loss/Wav2Vec2/Whisper fine-tuning) on heavily annotated phonetic audio corpora containing spontaneous speech phenomena. The pipeline involves acoustic feature extraction, dynamic time warping or Viterbi forced alignment against phonetic dictionaries, and custom C++/CUDA kernels for low-latency inference.
